Although it may be nice to drive a new car every week, this isn’t a reality for most people. When you buy a car, you likely want it to last you for several years. Because of this, it’s essential that you purchase a vehicle that not only fits your needs, but matches up with your personal style. The Scion FR-S and other vehicles from this manufacturer are not only affordable, but come in a variety of different models so that you can drive a car that you actually like.

Questions to Ask Before You Start the Car Buying Process

However, before you start going to dealerships to look at Scions, you should ask yourself a few questions in order to get in touch with what type of car you need and want. These should include questions like:

Do you want the vehicle to have an automatic or manual transmission?

How much cargo capacity do you need?

Are there any safety features, like airbags, that are important to you?

Are there any limits on the size of the car that will fit into your parking space or garage?

What special features would you want in your car?

In addition to these questions, it is also important that you take a good look at your finances to determine what you can spend on a new vehicle. When you are looking at new cars, it can be easy to get caught up with how a new car smells and the way a vehicle drives without paying much attention to the price tag. Before you head out to a dealership, set a strict budget for yourself and only request to see cars that are within your budget. However, if you are worried about your ability to stay strong when you see a new car that is slightly over you price range bring a friend or family member with you that can keep you on track throughout the buying process.

Different Models for Every Personality

Not only are Scion vehicles affordable and highly functional in terms of features, but they also come in a variety of different models so that you car matches up with your vehicle needs in addition to fitting your personal style. However, with so many different types of models out there for you to pick from, it can be a little intimidating to narrow down your personality into one car. To start, ask your friends what kind of car they can picture you in. You may find that your friends visualize you in a different type of car that you could have imagined yourself in and that’s OK. Although you shouldn’t determine what kind of car you want by what your friends think this may be a good starting point.

Next, browse through the different Scions available and narrow down which ones you like and which ones you don’t like as much. During this process you may find that you are drawn to smaller vehicles with a hatchback rather than the sedan style that you originally thought you wanted.

After you’ve narrowed down the model type, it’s time for the fun part: picking out the color of your new vehicle. This is one of the best ways to display your personality with the car that you drive. If you like bright colors don’t be afraid to pick a car in orange or blue. However, if you prefer more sedated and sleek colors, black or silver may be a better option for you.

Remember, finding the perfect car that fits your needs and personality may take a little bit of research and time but it will be well worth it in the end. Keep this in mind as you begin your quest for the right Scion vehicle for you.

Hi Megan! Zipcar is great for small cities (like San Fran), but when it comes to rural or suburban areas, or bigger cities (like L.A.), it definitely pays to have a car. Hope you find a car that you love!
